Don't think it is possible without some major reconstruction of the crossbraces (bending). Getting my solo cat back system installed required some mods to get it to fit around all the braces, front and back.

Good luck! I've been scouring the earth for various systems for my vert and half the damn 2.5" systems wont fit, let alone a 3"!

If you find anything, let us know; im still searching.

The 3" or the 2.5"? I may have overlooked something (Corsa wasn't high on my personal preferences) but I couldn't find any complete 3" systems compatible with the verts...

I put a corsa exhaust on my manual 2ss convertible PN 14951. It fit with no clearance problems on any of the cross braces. I took off the factory exhaust and put on the corsa exhaust in 2 1/2 hrs in my garage with a floor jack and jack stands. The sound is mellow until you step on it then it sounds like a race car. Best thing about it is that there is absolutely no drone or hum or anything when cruising down the highway. Its as quiet as stock in 6th gear even at low rpms. I am very happy with it . No headaches when on a long drive.

Guys, We offer a Chromoly frame brace that not only strengthens the framerail to floor but it also allows our header system which is 3" to the rear axle to fit beautifully. The remainder of our system is 2-1/2" beyond the rear axle which I will tell you is good to over 750 RWHP. I'll have Anthony post photo's of the brace with our 3" exhaust just above it. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Nick

How big of a difference is it going from 2.5" to 3"?
